The Cousins Are Coming ….“Cousins in Clay": Come for the Day--Come for the Weekend -- Contemporary Ceramic Art in Seagrove, NC at Bulldog Pottery. Potters, Bruce Gholson and Samantha Henneke, will host their 5th Annual “Cousins in Clay” with special guest potters David MacDonald, a distinguished potter from Syracuse, New York and Jack Troy, renowned potter from Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. David, a Syracuse University professor emeritus, takes the “power of pattern” on his pottery to the highest level. Jack Troy, Juniata College professor emeritus, is a ceramics author, teacher, and wood-firing poet. Joining them will be Michael Kline from Bakersville, NC, who is known for his lyrical floral brush imagery that gracefully wraps around his wood-fired traditional pottery forms. Bruce and Samantha of Bulldog Pottery specialize in iridescent crystalline glazes and imagery that reflect their interests in the natural world. During the two day event meet the potters, ask questions, and add to your pottery collection or begin one. "Cousins in Clay" is a pottery kinship based on a shared appreciation for the pursuit of excellence within the diverse language of clay.

Pottery will be for sale beginning at 10 am on Saturday, morning. And for those who want to linger awhile for light refreshments, will hear Chronis Pou Vasiliou of Greensboro, play his bouzouki music; and at 3:00 Michael Kline and Bruce Gholson will give a throwing demonstration. On Sunday, pottery will be for sale beginning at 10:00 am. The annual potters’ potluck will be at noon, all are welcome to bring a dish and eat while Seagrove potter Will McCanless plays his strings. At 1:30 Jack Troy will read from his published book of poetry.

This is a great weekend in Seagrove, North Carolina to meet potters, and pottery collectors, and take part in the conversation about all things clay. Seize the day and spend it in Seagrove, with the “Cousins in Clay.”
